SEQUIM — Those wishing to travel to the beat of a native drum have a friend in Native American Footprints. The Sequim-based cultural and educational tourism company, owned and operated by business partners Linda Silvas and Susan Davis, has already taken visitors from as far away as England and Germany on guided tours of the North Olympic Peninsula’s tribal lands and culturally significant sites.

OLYMPIA — When Gov. Chris Gregoire proposed a budget that cut many programs that help Washington state’s poor, she said it was “up to us as a community” to help fill the gap that would be left by state government. “State government can’t do it anymore,” she said at the time. “It’s up to the nonprofits, it’s up to the faith community, it’s up to us. “It’s up to our families and our friends and our neighbors to help out those we know, and those we don’t know or never met.”

Community support Officials with some of the state’s charities said that while they’ll continue to offer as much support as they can, their ability to increase that help is heavily reliant on more support from a community already facing hard times. Nonprofit groups are “already overwhelmed by the need created by the economic downturn,” said Tony Lee, the advocacy director for Seattle-based Solid Ground/Statewide Poverty Action Network. “To expect them to increase their efforts to absorb these massive budget cuts is simply not going to happen,” he said. People who normally may donate to charity may not have the resources this year to continue their level of giving, and some may even end up becoming the ones in need. “We’re seeing people who used to be donors come into the food bank as clients,” said Claire Acey, a spokeswoman for Seattle-based Northwest Harvest, a

Few options Curtis said Gregoire understands the strain many charities are already facing, but “there aren’t a lot of good options.” Gregoire has suggested deep cuts in state programs to help patch a $1.1 billion deficit through June 2011 and another projected deficit of $4.6 billion through mid-2013. The proposed cuts include the elimination of the Basic Health Program, which provides subsidized medical insurance to 66,000 poorer Washingtonians. Also eliminated are cash grants and medical care for the Disability Lifeline program, which aids mostly childless adults who are unemployable but not receiving federal aid. Turn

Tax break restored for conservation pacts By Paul Gottlieb

Peninsula Daily News

A land conservation program Congress sweetened earlier this month that marries land conservation with federal income tax breaks has created a win-win result for North Olympic Peninsula land owners and land trust organizations, they said last week. As part of the 10-year, $858 billion federal tax cut package President Barack Obama signed into law Dec. 17, Congress reinstated enhanced tax incentives for land owners who donate conservation easements to such organizations as land trusts to keep their property undeveloped forever. The incentives had been allowed to lapse for most of 2010 but were retroactively revived to cover 2010 on Dec. 17. The enhancement program will last through Dec. 31, 2011. The enhanced tax incentives, which are applied to a landowners’ federal income tax, increase the one-time deduction non-farmers and non-ranchers can take for donating conservation easements from

“The benefit of allowing them to protect their land and at the same time to have an advantage to reduce their taxes, in a sense, allows them peace of mind.”

30 percent to 50 percent. Farmers and ranchers can deduct up to 100 percent of their income, depending on the value of the easement.

Spread out deduction In addition, the enhancement increases the years over which easement donors can spread out the deduction. It was six years, and now it’s 16. The assessed value of the land is adjusted downward in an amount equal to the value of the easement to reflect the loss of development rights. Turn

1936 (75 years ago) Deputy Collector Frank P. Fisher concluded a 43-year Customs career by retiring in Port Angeles on Jan. 1. Fisher entered the service in stirring times when the opium and alien smuggling trades were thriving on the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. Fisher said his remembrances are vivid of the 1890s, when Customs officers also handled immigration work and had to combat smugglers of opium and Chinese aliens. He saw the era of sailing ships fade into the past as modern vessels of steam and electricity took over.

Briefly: Nation Some in GOP against raising ceiling on debt WASHINGTON — Some Republican lawmakers said Sunday they opposed raising the ceiling on the nation’s debt without tackling government spending, and President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser warned against “playing chicken” on the issue. The federal debt is limited to $14.3 trillion, but the debt now stands at nearly $13.9 trillion and is growing daily. Congress last raised the debt ceiling in February 2010 and is expected to consider raising it again as early as March. To some conservatives, refusing to raise the limit on the federal debt could be an effective tactic to force lawmakers into cutting spending and facing such contentious issues as the rising costs of Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs. Austan Goolsbee, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said that refusing to raise the debt ceiling would essentially push the country into defaulting on its financial obligations for the first time in its history. “The impact on the economy would be catastrophic,” Goolsbee told “This Week” on ABC. “That would be a worse financial economic crisis than anything we saw in 2008.”

Afghan bases to stay? WASHINGTON — A leading GOP lawmaker on U.S. military policy said he wants American officials to consider establishing

permanent military bases in Afghanistan. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina says that having a few U.S. air bases Graham in Afghanistan would be a benefit to the region and would give Afghan security forces an edge against the Taliban. Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he wants to see the U.S. have “an enduring relationship” with Afghanistan to ensure that it never falls back into the hands of terrorists. President Barack Obama plans to begin drawing down American forces in Afghanistan next year and hand over security to Afghan forces in 2014.

Sea lion shootings up SAN FRANCISCO — The weak and woozy California sea lion found on a San Francisco Bay-area beach in December with buckshot embedded in its skull has become an all-too-common sight for wildlife officials. Wildlife officials have seen a slight rise in the shooting of ocean mammals in recent years, and investigators often struggle to find a culprit. There are few witnesses to such shootings, making it nearly impossible to bring a case. “We always try to do an investigation, but unless there’s an eyewitness to the shooting, it’s hard to make a case for our enforcement folks,” said Joe Cordaro, a wildlife biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who tracks reports of the shootings.

Briefly: World Israel proposes nonstop talks with Palestine JERUSALEM — Israel’s prime minister Sunday proposed nonstop, face-to-face talks with the Palestinian president until a peace agreement is reached — offering a possible way to advance talks that have stalled over the construction of Jewish settlements. Benjamin Netanyahu’s proposal offers the appeal of leaders working together to make history, and it comes in response to Netanyahu Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ latest claim — made over the weekend in South America — that genuine talks could yield a deal within months. But the Palestinians showed little enthusiasm for Netanyahu’s offer. Reached by The Associated Press in Brazil on Sunday, Abbas reiterated his call for a settlement freeze. “If he does so, we can reach an agreement not in six months, but in two months,” he said.

Flights suspended MOSCOW — Russia’s transport oversight agency Sunday ordered the country’s airlines to stop using Tu-154B planes until the cause of a passenger jet fire and explosion that killed three people is determined. A spokesman for the agency,

Sergei Romanchev, said airlines must obey the order. The state news agency RIA Novosti said there are 14 Tu154Bs in service in Russia. The Tu-154B is one variant of the Tu-154 model, which has been in service since the early 1970s and has been in wide use on Russian internal flights and extensively in other countries, including Iran and former Soviet republics. No cause has been determined for Saturday’s fire, which also injured 43 people.

Bombing investigated ALEXANDRIA, Egypt — Egyptian police are focusing their investigation into the New Year’s suicide bombing of a church on a group of Islamic hard-liners inspired by al-Qaida and based in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria where the attack killed 21 people, security officials said Sunday. The bombing touched off riots and protests by Egypt’s Christian minority, who feel they are targeted and discriminated against and do not get adequate protection from authorities. There were signs of beefed up security outside churches nationwide and dozens returned to pray Sunday in the bombed, blood-spattered Saints Church — many of them sobbing, screaming in anger and slapping themselves in grief. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack on Coptic Christians leaving a midnight Mass about a half hour into the new year Saturday, the worst attack on Egyptian Christians in a decade.

U.S. Navy Capt. Owen Honors appears in one of a series of profanity-laced comedy sketches that were broadcast on the USS Enterprise via closed-circuit television.

Navy to investigate ship’s lewd videos Derogatory term for gays used by officer in sketches The Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy said Sunday it will investigate “clearly inappropriate” videos broadcast to the crew of a nuclearpowered aircraft carrier in which a top officer of the ship used gay slurs, mimicked masturbation and opened the shower curtain on women pretending to bathe together. The star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007, is a former Top Gun pilot who now commands the same ship, the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise, which was deployed in the Middle East at the time and is weeks from deploying again. The Virginian-Pilot newspaper reported on the videos in its Saturday editions and posted an edited version of one video on its website. Capt. Owen Honors appeared in the videos while he was the USS Enterprise’s executive officer — the second in command — and they aired on the ship’s closedcircuit television. Honors took over as the ship’s commander in May. It’s not immediately known why the videos are surfacing now.

The Virginian-Pilot quoted anonymous crew members who said they raised concerns aboard the ship about the videos when they aired, but they were brushed off. It’s clear from the videos that Honors had already gotten complaints when some of them were made.

Several, ‘gutless’ complaints “Over the years, I’ve gotten several complaints about inappropriate material during these videos, never to me personally but, gutlessly, through other channels,” he said in the introduction to the video posted by the newspaper. In the same segment, Honors uses a derogatory term for gays. Next comes a sequence of what appear to be outtakes in which Honors and others curse, followed by clips in which he and others are shown making hand motions that mimic masturbation. Honors segues to the next segment by saying, “Finally, let’s get to my favorite topic . . . chicks in the shower.” Next are shown clips of pairs of

women and a pair of men pretending to shower together. No nudity is shown, but the men’s and women’s bare shoulders imply they are nude. Other clips in the video show a man in drag and a mock rectal examination. Navy spokesman Cmdr. Chris Sims said in a statement sent to The Associated Press that the videos “were not acceptable then and are not acceptable in today’s Navy.” Executive officers and other leaders “are charged to lead by example and are held accountable for setting the proper tone and upholding the standards of honor, courage and commitment that we expect sailors to exemplify,” he said. Sims said U.S. Fleet Forces Command “has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the production of these videos.” In a statement to the Virginian-Pilot on Friday, however, the Navy said it had put a stop to videos with “inappropriate content” on the Enterprise several years ago. “It is unfortunate that copies of these videos remained accessible to crewmembers, especially after leadership took action approximately four years ago to ensure any future videos reflected the proper tone,” the Navy said.

GOP agenda: Major impact may be on 2012 election By Larry Margasak The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Republican agenda for the new Congress that convenes Wednesday may have a greater impact on the 2012 elections than on the lives of Americans in the next two years. Republicans promise to cut spending, roll back President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and prevent unelected bureaucrats from expanding the government’s role in society through regulations that tell people what they must or can’t do. Getting this agenda through the House may be easier than in the Senate, given the GOP’s 241194 majority in the House. Getting the Senate to act will be a challenge. Democrats still

hold an edge there, though smaller than the one Obama had during his first two years in the White House. Even if the next two years end in gridlock, Republicans will have built a record for the next election that they hope will demonstrate to voters that they can get it right. House Republicans also pledge to hold tough investigations and hearings on the president’s programs and policies, ending the free pass that Democratic committee chairmen gave the Obama administration the past two years. Republicans insist they’ll bring key administration officials before congressional microphones and that the public can watch the webcasts.

The friendly tone of inquiry from Democratic chairmen will be replaced by Republicans demanding answers to these questions: What’s the purpose of this program? Is this the best use of the taxpayers’ money? The chief Republican investigator, Rep. Darrell Issa of California, is raring to get started, and he’s not alone. Issa, the incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has been especially critical of what he calls waste in Obama’s economic stimulus spending. “The sooner the administration figures out that the enemy is the bureaucracy and the wasteful spending, not the other party, the better off we’ll be,” he told “Fox News Sunday.”

President Barack Obama said Sunday he was honored to sign a bill to provide aid to survivors of the Sept. 11 attacks and first responders who became ill working in the ruins at the World Trade Center. “We will never forget the selfless courage demonstrated by the firefighters, police officers and first responders who risked their lives to save others,” Obama said. “I believe this is a critical step for those who continue to bear the physical scars of those attacks.” The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was named after a police officer who died of a respiratory disease he contracted during the 9/11 rescue operations.

Environmental service workers finished picking up the carcasses Sunday of about 2,000 redwinged blackbirds that fell dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town. Mike Robertson, the mayor in Beebe, told The Associated Press the last dead bird was removed at about 11 a.m. in the town about 40 miles northeast of Little Rock. He said 12 to 15 workers, hired by the city to do the cleanup, wore environmental-protection suits for the task.

It was closely followed by Jeff Bridges’ and Matt Damon’s Western “True Grit,” which was No. 2 for the second-straight weekend with $24.5 million. “Little Fockers,” released by Universal, raised its domestic haul to $103.2 million. Paramount’s “True Grit” lifted its total to $86.8 million, becoming the top-grossing film ever from directors Joel and Ethan Coen, whose previous best was $74.3 million for “No Country for Old Men.”

A magnitude-7.1 earthquake shook southern Chile on Sunday, sending tens of thousands fleeing for higher ground for fear that it could generate a tsunami like the one that ravaged the coastline last year. There were no immediate reports of deaths or damage, and Vicente Nunez, head of the National Emergency Office, said no tsunami alert was issued. “There has been no harm to people, no harm to property,” Nunez said. “We will continue monitoring.” The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii also said a destructive Pacific Ocean-wide tsunami was not expected.

24th District Dems to meet Saturday chairman. All are welcome to attend. The 24th District includes Clallam and Jefferson counties and a portion of Grays Harbor County. The chair and vice chair preside over the meetings. Only one per year is required, but other meetings may be called for purposes replacing officers, appointing precinct committee officers or other reasons, Miller said. The state committeeman and state committeewoman may vote on state party issues. “I think those are the

most important positions being elected,” Miller said. The purpose of the group is to help more Democrats be elected to office, Miller said. “We have a unique situation here that maybe only five districts in the state have. We have a very large geographic area to cover, so we end up relying heavily on the county party for things, but we hope that we can draw the three areas closer together,” Miller said. Miller said that while he is chairman now, he expects that someone else will step up to run for the position for the next two-year term.

New Year’s Day fire damages PA home By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — A New Year’s Day fire in the attic destroyed one guest bedroom and a portion of the attic and roof of a Port Angeles couple’s home. The Wilkersons, who live on Walkabout Way, are hoping that New Year’s Day was the worst they’ll experience this year. While preparing for dinner at around 7 p.m. Saturday, Beth Wilkerson tried to turn on her kitchen faucet — and when it didn’t work, her husband Clyde went in search of what threw the pump curcuit-breaker, she said.

had filled the attic with smoke, she said. The couple called Clallam County Fire District No. 2. The firefighters opened up the attic from above and the oxygen rushed in feeding the embers and creating a blaze that destroyed the home’s spare bedroom, Beth Wilkerson said. “The fire department did a wonderful job — they kept it contained, and we didn’t lose everything,” she said. Wilkerson, who breeds dogs and owns more than a half-dozen dogs of her own, said no one — including the pets — was injured in the fire. “We were really lucky in a way,” she said. “But it kind of was like ‘Happy New Year to you.’” Below the guest bedroom is also Beth’s father’s apartment. Monte Mogi’s kitchen has some water damage but he can still live there, Beth Wilkerson said. Although the hallway and room are destroyed — and the roof has a large hole in it — the couple’s liv-

ing room and other areas of the home are still habitable, she said. Clallam County Fire District No. 2 arrived with a command vehicle, a structural engine, a rescue engine and a water tender, according to a news release. “Electrical wires melting casing insulation and wood to catch fire, crews ventilated through the roof above fire location, crews also pulled down the ceiling in bedroom under fire source to be able to gain access to the attic,” the fire district said was the cause of the fire. “Confirmed that the overhead wires to barn were completely melted through as well as the insulation that protects them in their normal state melted a 10-foot section.” An insurance adjuster was expected to evaluate the damage this week.

Hidden history of Victoria revealed Talk in PA discloses neighbor’s ‘dirt’ By Paige Dickerson Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — The provincial capital across the Strait of Juan de Fuca has a past riddled with quirky, interesting and some notso-savory characters. R o s s Crockford, editor of Monday Magazine in Victoria, told an audience of about 65 Crockford attending Clallam County Historical Society’s January History Tales session Sunday about Victoria’s hidden history — occasionally drawing giggles and gasps. Talking in tidbits, Crockford gave what he called a “quick and dirty history of Victoria.” The geological formation of Vancouver Island was important because several smaller rocks smashed into the larger one making up most of the island and creating an earthquake-prone section. That is the lower portion — where the city of Victoria

Ross Crockford speaks about a reproduction of one of the Fort Victoria towers, pictured at right, during the Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales presentation Sunday. “The chauffeur was eventually acquitted on appeal and he only died a few years ago — but every once in a while a journalist would ask him what really happened,” Crockford said. “But he kept quiet until the very end so we’ll never know.” Crockford also showed on video a film by William Harbeck, who made travel films in the early 1900s. Harbeck strapped a cam-

era to the front of a streetcar and people milling around town, people in horse-drawn carriages and the construction of the Empress are all visible in the film. Harbeck and his wife lived in San Francisco and he went to study filmmaking in France. “But he made the mistake of booking his return voyage on the Titanic,” Crockford said.

Harbeck and a French model he was traveling with were both killed when the ship sank, Crockford said. Crockford writes regularly about Victoria. His blog can be found at http:// unknownvictoria.blogspot. com.

Quilcene company, Tulalip Tribes restore creek By Bill Sheets Everett Herald

TULALIP — Coho Creek stinks. Along parts of the stream, the stench of rotting fish carcasses is overwhelming. “The smell of success,” said Kurt Nelson, environmental division manager for the Tulalip Tribes. Ten years ago, Coho Creek was a drab, nameless, straight-as-an-arrow drainage ditch in central Snohomish County. Today, much of it is a meandering stream filled with salmon with a name to match. The Tulalip Tribes began working in 2000 to transform the ditch, located behind Quil Ceda Village west of I-5, into a stream to which as many as 50 coho and 1,500 chum salmon have returned in a

given year. “The numbers are varying quite a bit but they’re going up,” Nelson said. So far the tribes have spent about $1 million on the project. The tribes have gradually upgraded the stream over the past decade by removing or improving culverts, widening the stream and changing its course, adding spawn-friendly gravel and using logs to create small ponds. The stream runs south from around 116th Street NE and behind Quil Ceda Village, where several tributaries join it. Much of this area was leased by the tribes to the U.S. Army around World War II for munitions storage, then leased to Boeing until 2001 for engine testing. It’s not certain where the stream originally ran, but it

had been turned into a narrow ditch that flowed in a straight line due south, then due east to connect with a natural channel near 88th Street NE. From there, the stream runs south and empties into Quil Ceda Creek near the Sno-Isle Library offices. Over the years, 18 culverts were built into the ditch, blocking fish from traveling upstream to spawn. After the first culvert near the south end of the stream was removed in 2000, chum salmon almost immediately began heading upstream to spawn, though without success. The creek bed still was too sandy to hold eggs. Later, more culverts were removed, allowing both chum and coho salmon to make it farther upstream. The tribes started

Nelson’s goal is to have most observed since moni-

The chum fry make a perfect food for the older coho smolts, Nelson said. Some of the old ditch still remains. The plan is to replace it with 2,500 more feet of new stream and add wetlands to offset any water runoff from further development of Quil Ceda business park. The tribes eventually plan to develop 500 more acres of land west of Quil Ceda Village, leaving 1,000 acres nearby for environmental restoration, Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon said. “The rest will be preserved or restored as fish and wildlife habitat,” he said.

Sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG SL) is part of standard management of angina (chest pain). In 2004, guidelines for NTG SL use were updated to reflect the knowledge that delays in seeking medical attention may adversely affect patient survival. Patients are now encouraged to call 911 or emergency medical services (EMS) if they don’t get relief of chest pain/discomfort in five minutes after just one dose of NTG SL. Once EMS has been called, patients can continue taking their NTG every five minutes if needed (for a total of three doses unless otherwise instructed by EMS) while waiting for the ambulance. Also, NTG tablets have been reformulated to extend their potency and stability, and NTG SL tablets should be stable until the manufacturer’s stated expiration date as long as they are kept in the original container and have been stored at room temperature away from moisture, and the bottle has been tightly sealed after is has been opened.

VIMO sees number of patients climb Peninsula Daily News

PORT ANGELES — A flailing economy coupled with the closure of CliniCare has led to skyrocketing patient use of the Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics clinic. The free clinic, which provides medical care for those who have no other health care alternative, has seen a 30 percent increase in patient visits and a 13 percent increase in total patients since 2009. In 2009, the clinic at 909 E. Georgiana St., saw 816 patients in 2,738 visits. That grew to 919 patients in 3,554 visits this year, according to the clinic’s annual report. “The economy continues to put pressure on the local health care delivery system,” said Executive Direc-

tor Larry Little. “As a result, VIMO continues to be the safety net for the uninsured. “Many people continue to have no health insurance, nor hope for obtaining insurance in the foreseeable future.” Patty Hannah, the clinic’s volunteer coordinator, said that the closure of CliniCare in Port Angeles had propelled some patients to VIMO.

Closed in October CliniCare, which allowed patients without insurance to pay an up-front fee and accepted patients on a walkin basis, closed in late October. “If they were going to CliniCare and had insurance they were able to move them over to the Jamestown

or Elwha clinics, but some of those who didn’t came to VIMO, as they needed care,” Hannah said. The rising numbers is a trend. Patient numbers also increased from 2008 to 2009, according to the annual report. Overall from 2008 to 2010, the clinic has seen an 83 percent increase in visits — from 1,945 in 2008 to 3,554 in 2010. The total patients has increased 28 percent — from 717 in 2008 to 919 in 2010. The visitation has gone up partly because of increased services, Hannah said. VIMO developed three new special clinics: hypertension chronic disease management, diabetes chronic disease manage-

ment and behavioral health counseling. Having patients attend the clinics helps open up more room for patients in the general medical area, Hannah said. “We run out of room to accept new patients,” she said. VIMO is working to developing other clinics as well, she said. Expansion plans include improvements in chronic care clinics and enhanced mental health services. The clinic employs three part-time staff. The 85 others who work at the clinic are volunteers, Hannah said. With increased visits, though, there are also increased costs of supplies and other necessities, so VIMO also has increased its

fundraising efforts. The cost per patient for the entire year was $253, the annual report said. “Care includes physical and mental health exams with follow up care, labs and X-rays provided by OMC, prescription assistance program and other services,” Little wrote in the report.

Donations increase Donations increased by 30 percent — from $17,878 in 2009 to $23,236 in 2010 — and fundraising revenues increased from $29,561 to $33,842 in 2010, according to the annual report. Fundraising had also tripled from 2008 to 2009, growing from $7,235 to $29,561 in 2009. Hannah said the big boost in fundrasing came when the services clubs

throughout Port Angeles began dedicating a week to raising funds for the clinic. She said in 2010 the clinic had also had a significant number of donations in honor of Bob Boardman, who was a volunteer diabetes specialist for the clinic. Boardman was killed Oct. 16 by a mountain goat in Olympic National Park. The family requested donations in his honor go to VIMO. Donations to the clinic can be made by designating a donation through United Way of Clallam County, by sending a check to VIMO, 909 E. Georgiana St., Port Angeles, WA 98362, or by visiting the website www. vimoclinic.org. For more information, visit the clinic’s website or phone 360-457-4431.

Break: Conservation leads to tax deductions Continued from A1 “I feel blessed with that legislation,” said Chiggers Stokes, 60. The conservation easement he donated to the North Olympic Land Trust protects habitat for the elk that often graze outside his window. In making the donation, he also gained a $35,000 tax deduction on his rustic, 18.5-acre parcel next to salmon-bearing Hemp Hill Creek, 10 miles south of Forks, just over the Jefferson County line. John Bellow and Roxanne Hudson, a Chimacum couple who own certified organic SpringRain Farm & Orchard, have a conservation easement on 21 of 26 acres.

Chimacum farm They raise sheep and free-range chickens and grow apples, Asian pears, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

The conservation easement program netted Bellow $82,000 in tax savings he realized over two years. “Very simplistically, this is exactly the same as a charitable donation,” Bellow said. He acknowledged that the tax break he gains places a heavier burden on other taxpayers. “What I did was a positive thing,” Bellow said. “It is a common good for everybody. It’s only fitting that the cost of having done that is shared throughout the community.” While Stokes donated his easement to the North Olympic Land Trust in Clallam County, Bellow and Hudson donated theirs to the Jefferson Land Trust in Jefferson County. Both trusts benefit, too, in advancing their goal of land preservation — without have to pay landowners. The land trusts commonly pays landowners for the loss of development

rights and in return grant conservation easements to protect land from development. But under the federal enhancement program, the land is donated to the trusts in return for the tax breaks, said Barbara Arnn, outreach coordinator for the Jefferson Land Trust. The Jefferson Land Trust “had its hands full,” so Stokes obtained his conservation easement from the North Olympic Land Trust, which used a $14,000 state Department of Fish and Wildlife grant Stokes obtained to assess wildlife habitat on his property, Stokes said. Under the enhancement program, the value of Stokes’ conservation easement is $35,000, or the value of the property that’s lost through the restriction on development. That amount was deducted from the $100,000 value of his house, so now he pays taxes on $65,000.

Half of his property is meadow and half is woods and Hemp Hill Creek shoreline. He generates all of his own electricity and power for a few neighbors from a hydroelectric device at Hemp Hill Falls. Now, 16 of his 18.5 acres are protected in return for the tax breaks. “The financial benefits did not enter my head when I got involved, in all honesty,” Stokes said. “It’s an estate thing,” he added, noting that just the other day, he saw four otters chowing down on salmon in the creek. “What this gives me is the knowledge that when I finally do check out, the people that get this property whether they choose to inhabit it or not are bound to respect the wildlife virtues that are manifest here,” Stokes said. “It’s a very comforting feeling for me, and far more rewarding than any tax

benefit for me. It’s profound.” “Probably dozens” of landowners have taken advantage of the conservation easement program in Jefferson County, Arnn said. The program is of particular benefit to the aging population of farmers and ranchers, many of whom can’t pass on their property to their children and must sell it but still want to guarantee the land stays in agriculture, Arnn said. “Those people operate on thin margins,” she said. North Olympic Land Trust Executive Director Greg Good said more than 200 acres were preserved in Clallam County in 2010 by way of conservation easements, which also apply to forested land. “There are many landowners that are not necessarily cash-rich but landrich,” Good said. “The benefit of allowing them to protect their land

and at the same time to have an advantage to reduce their taxes, in a sense, allows them peace of mind,” Good said. The lower assessed property value that’s caused by taking away development rights also makes it more economical for younger people who want to farm to buy property with conservation easements. But Bellow, 44, has no intention of selling SpringRain Farm & Orchard anytime soon. He’s proud of the conservation easement, which protects 1,100 feet of Chimacum Creek “one of the more important salmonbearing streams in Jefferson County,” Bellow said. “We were able to write into the easement stringent standards that protect Chimacum Creek.”

charities can offer. “When people are denied health care services, neighbors can’t pick that up, churches can’t pick that up, nonprofits can’t pick that up,” he said. Community clinics across the state are seeing their state grants cut as part of the budget cuts. The clinics provide primary care for people regardless of their ability to pay, and many of those patients are insured under programs the state is looking to cut. “What’s going to happen is these people aren’t going to be able to get into a clinic

and will end up in hospital emergency rooms,” said Rebecca Kavoussi, with Community Health Network of Washington. “The hospital doesn’t stop paying the nurse or stop paying the electricity when a patient comes in without insurance. They shift the cost to those who can pay.”

Trying to help Kristen West, executive director of CHOICE Regional Health Network, a coalition of hospitals, clinics, physicians and others in

Mason, Grays Harbor, Pacific, Lewis and Thurston counties, said her group helps connect people to resources that exist, and helps coordinate donated care from physicians and hospitals. She said that they’ve already seen the volume of patients seeking help triple in the last few months, and CHOICE is currently trying to recruit more physicians. “In Thurston County, when the Basic Health Plan is cut, there will be 5,000 people who will immediately be uninsured,” she

said. “It’s a huge impact on a small community.” Josephine Tamayo Murray of Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, said her organization and others are bracing for a difficult legislative session. “We’re trying to provide information to our legislators so they know the negative impacts of the most devastating cuts,” she said. “We as a community are coming together to try and meet the need, but will it be enough?”

Tour: Visitors can go as far as Neah Bay, LaPush Continued from A1 Visitors can venture to as far west as the Makah Reservation in Neah Bay or further south on the Olympic Coast to the Quileute Reservation in LaPush at the mouth of a majestic river that flows toward James Island. They can sit around a campfire, hear tribal members recall their history and even make a Native American drum from hide and cedar to play at a campfire by the sea. Trips to Sol Duc Hot Springs and Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Mountains are also taken along the way.

Visitors stay at the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort in Olympic National Park, at cabins in Neah Bay on the Makah Reservation and the resort at LaPush on the Quileute Reservation. Dobie Lyons, a Makah, greets visitors at Hobuck Beach and tells them about his culture.

Hobuck Beach fire pit “He loads his truck with wood and brings it to the fire pit,” Silvas said with a smile. Makah tribal member Steve Pendleton cooks salmon on a stick and gives it a blessing before serving. Silvas said visitors are taken to the senior center in

Neah Bay to meet Makah tribal elders and hear them tell their stories. Tour groups are encouraged to meet and make friends with tribal members. “We tell our guests to invite the new people they meet to our encampment for dinner,” Silvas said. “One night at Hobuck Beach, we must have had 40 people from town come and join us. We had plenty of salmon, potatoes, corn on the cob, bread, salads, Indian breads and desserts. It was a blast.” Besides salmon, crab and shellfish from the Peninsula’s waters are also served. Visitors can also learn to weave baskets or buy their own from native weavers. Private tours of the Makah Cultural and Research Center also can be conducted, Silvas said. The tours are flexible in nature and can also venture into the woods to walk and pick huckleberries or other natural fruits. “When we are are in Indian Country, we are living on Indian time,” she said.

“All guests plant a cedar tree as a gift to Mother Earth, to life,” she said, adding they can then return to visit their trees later, know-

ing while away that their trees are producing healthy oxygen for the environment. “They leave no footprint as they walk out,” Silvas said. “We leave it clean.” An in-house photographer, Jim Loughran, who freelances for National Geographic, is also brought in to photograph visitors at locations. “We talk about the Canoe Journey and its healthy focus” without substance abuse, she said of the annual water voyage of Pacific Northwest and Canadian tribes to the shores of hosts. “The purpose of our company is green, in not only an environmental way but a spiritual, healthy way,” Silvas said. Women-only tours and group retreats are also organized by Native American Footprints.

Vacation rewards Silvas said even though the economy has changed for the worse, she and Davis, who handles the marketing end of the business, notice that people still reward themselves with vacations for their hard work. “It’s like putting a party together,” Silvas said. “You book, do menus and get the people together who are going to work the party.” Native American Foot-

prints is hooking up with Olympia’s tour businesses and hires Willie Nelson’s All Points Charters & Tours for tour bus service out of Port Angeles. Silvas said her business also will join with Kenmore Air flying into Port Angeles from points north, including Canada. If the visitors come in from Seattle, Silvas said they are first taken to Blake Island and Tillicum Village owned by Argosy Cruises. They are then taken back to near Washington State Ferries Colman Dock where they catch the ferry to Bainbridge Island and a tour bus north to the Peninsula. “On the way up, we are

talking about the history and the protocol for touring Indian Country in a respectful way,” Silvas said. “Each tribe has its own protocol because each is different.” That protocol covers when and where to take photos and where they can go while on respective reservations. “We bless the journey and welcome them to Indian Country,” she said.

Commentary

Page

Equality, a true national soul food John Steinbeck observed that “a sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.” That insight, now Nicholas confirmed by epidemiological Kristof studies, is worth bearing in mind at a time of such polarizing inequality that the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans possess a greater collective net worth than the bottom 90 percent. There’s growing evidence that the toll of our stunning inequality is not just economic but also is a melancholy of the soul. The upshot appears to be high rates of violent crime, high narcotics use, high teenage birthrates and even high rates of heart disease. That’s the argument of an important book by two distinguished British epidemiologists, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. They argue that gross inequality tears at the human psyche, creating anxiety, distrust and an array of mental and physical ailments — and they

cite mountains of data to support their argument. “If you fail to avoid high inequality, you will need more prisons and more police,” they assert. “You will have to deal with higher rates of mental illness, drug abuse and every other kind of problem.” They explore these issues in their book, The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger. The heart of their argument is that humans are social animals and that in highly unequal societies those at the bottom suffer from a range of pathologies. For example, a long-term study of British civil servants found that messengers, doormen and others with low status were much more likely to die of heart disease, suicide and some cancers and had substantially worse overall health. There’s similar evidence from other primates. For example, macaque monkeys are also highly social animals, and scientists put them in cages and taught them how to push a lever so that they could get cocaine. Those at the bottom of the monkey hierarchy took much more cocaine than high-status monkeys. Other experiments found that

low-status monkeys suffered physical problems, including atherosclerosis in their arteries and an increase in abdominal fat. And as with monkeys, so with humans. Researchers have found that when people become unemployed or suffer economic setbacks, they gain weight. One 12-year study of American men found that when their income slipped, they gained an average of 5.5 pounds. The correlation is strong around the world between countries with greater inequality and greater drug use. Paradoxically, countries with more relaxed narcotics laws, like the Netherlands, have relatively low domestic drug use — perhaps because they are more egalitarian. Professors Wilkinson and Pickett crunch the numbers and show that the same relationship holds true for a range of social problems. Among rich countries, those that are more unequal appear to have more mental illness, infant mortality, obesity, high school dropouts, teenage births, homicides, and so on. They find the same thing is true among the 50 American states. More unequal states, like Mississippi and Louisiana, do

Peninsula Voices ‘Interesting time’ This is an interesting time we live in. There are two items I would like to address: ■ Once again, those of us on Social Security income were denied a raise, the so-called reason being that the index of inflation did not show a rise. I find that ridiculous. If there is no inflation, why then are we paying almost double the prices of needed items? Among those — eggs, almost double, milk, almost double — and not only that, but there are reduced amounts in packaging, the same prices for lesser amounts. Then there is the price increase in gas. Ouch. ■ The so-called excessive invasion of our bodies. That is horrifying and violating — the great amount of money spent to place the [airport] X-ray machines, and the training (if done).

poorly by these social measures. More equal states, like New Hampshire and Minnesota, do far better. So why is inequality so harmful? The Spirit Level suggests that inequality undermines social trust and community life, corroding societies as a whole. It also suggests that humans, as social beings, become stressed when they find themselves at the bottom of a hierarchy. That stress leads to biological changes, such as the release of the hormone cortisol, and to the accumulation of abdominal fat (perhaps an evolutionary adaptation in preparation for starvation ahead?). The result is physical ailments like heart disease, and social ailments like violent crime, mutual distrust, selfdestructive behaviors and persistent poverty. Another result is the establishment of alternative systems in which one can win respect and acquire self-esteem, such as gangs. Granted, humans are not all equal in ability. There will always be some who are more wealthy — and others who constitute the bottom. But inequality does not have to be as harsh, oppressive and polarized as it is in America today.

Dogs are quite capable and efficient at sniffing out bombs. Israel has been using this method for a long time, and guess what? They have not had one problem with bombs, etc., on planes. The dogs immediately are able to sniff out any and all explosives. This method would make security much saner and a lot less expensive, and flying would once again be a pleasant way to travel.

Germany and Japan have attained modern, efficient economies with far less inequality than we have — and far fewer social problems. Likewise, the gap between rich and poor fell during the Clinton administration, according to data cited in The Spirit Level, even though that was a period of economic vigor. “Inequality is divisive, and even small differences seem to make an important difference,” Professors Wilkinson and Pickett note. They suggest that it is not just the poor who benefit from the social cohesion that comes with equality, but the entire society. So as we debate national policy in 2011 — from the estate tax to unemployment insurance to early childhood education — let’s push to reduce the stunning levels of inequality in America today. These inequities seem profoundly unhealthy, for us and for our nation’s soul.

power (clean, naturally renewed energy), thereby encouraging them to close down in Port Angeles. Sierra Club and its allies advocate the turning of a large portion of the United States into a wild animal park, dominated by grizzlies and wolves (The

Wildlands Project), starting on the Olympic Peninsula. Originated by Dave (Earth First) Foreman, a director of the Sierra Club, it requires removal of people (jobs) from this Peninsula. A recent letter in the PDN by one of that group [“Biomass Project,” Dec. 26] claims burning in a boiler will adversely affect air quality. This is nonsense, since that stuff is now burned in the open, producing far more airborne particulates. The letter also “worries” about low flows in the Elwha in July and August, harming salmon. Past low flows have been alleviated by the spilling of water from the dams. But, thanks to the Sierra Club and allies, such water will not be available. Their concern for salmon is a little late. Can we say, “Hoist on their own petard”? Marv Chastain, Port Angeles

New soldiers in fight against the drug war PROFOUND THANKS ARE due televangelist Pat Robertson for stating so clearly what many of us have been screaming in the wilderness Froma Harrop for years — that the criminalization of marijuana is a plague on young people. May he lend courage to politicians who know better but won’t do the right thing for fear of seeming “soft” on drugs. “We’re locking up people who take a couple of puffs of marijuana, and the next thing they know, they’ve got 10 years,” Robertson said on his Christian Broadcasting Network show, “The 700 Club.” These are mandatory sentences, he adds, that absurd laws force on judges.

Robertson does not call for legalization of all drugs, as do many disillusioned law enforcers, judges and prominent economists of all political stripes. He does say that criminalizing the possession of small amounts of pot is “costing us a fortune, and it’s ruining young people.” Where are the foes of big government in this? They should note that the federal Drug Enforcement Administration’s budget has more than quadrupled over the decade to $2.6 billion — without making a dent in the quantity of illegal drugs sold in this country. (The narcotics, meanwhile, are more potent than ever.) But the DEA bureaucrats know how to expand a mandate. The agency now operates 86 offices in 63 countries and runs a shadow State Department that at times mucks up American diplomacy. It employs nearly 11,000 people. And the DEA is but one

expense in the drug war. Add in the costs of local law enforcement to round up suspects, courts to prosecute them and jails to hold them, and the war on drugs weighs in at about $50 billion a year. States and municipalities bear most of the costs. Of course, these numbers don’t take into account the lost tax revenue that legalizing these drugs could generate. Harvard economist Jeffrey Miron estimates that taxing marijuana like tobacco and alcohol could add $6.4 billion a year to state and local treasuries. If drugs were legalized, narcoterrorists (including the Taliban) would lose their chief source of funds, drug gangs would go out of business, and the drug-fueled bloodbath now tormenting Mexico would end. Border security would vastly tighten as drug traffic dried up. Ending the war on drugs has support across the political spectrum.

Many on the left regard America’s drug laws as an assault on personal freedom and racist in their application. Prominent voices on the right — for example, William F. Buckley and Milton Friedman — long ago declared the war on drugs simply a dismal failure. In December, Britain’s former drug czar and defense secretary, Bob Ainsworth, declared that the war on drugs is “nothing short of a disaster” and called for government regulation of drug manufacturing and sales. “We must take the trade away from organized criminals and hand it to the control of doctors and pharmacists,” he said. No one here is advocating drug use. I have never touched hard drugs, but the “war” against them lost its romance the day that a drug addict pointed a knife at my gut, demanding money for a fix that should have cost him no more than a head of celery.

Then there’s the rank hypocrisy. President Obama admits to having “tried” cocaine, and former President George W. Bush all but did, refusing to answer questions about his previous drug use. Yet we still ruin the lives of teenagers caught using or dealing in far less dangerous marijuana. The injustice of this is what aroused Pat Robertson. A social conservative has now filled a gap in the anti-drug-war lineup of liberals, economic conservatives and libertarians. And we welcome him.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers celebrates after the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears to earn a playoff berth.

Packers secure wild card By Barry Wilner

The Associated Press

Indianapolis, Atlanta and Pittsburgh clinched division titles Sunday, while Green Bay grabbed the final wild-card berth. The Packers beat archrival Chicago 10-3 to secure the NFC’s sixth seed; defending league champion New Orleans has the conference’s other wild card. Also . . . A last-second 43-yard field goal ■ NFL by the alwayswraps up clutch Adam Vinatregular ieri lifted the AFC season on South champion Sunday/B4 Colts past Tennessee 23-20. Indy was already assured of its seventh division crown in eight years when the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to the Houston Texans minutes earlier. It’s the ninth straight year the Colts have reached the postseason, tying the NFL record Dallas set from 1975-83. “I think it shows the resolve of this team and our fight,” Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney said. “It doesn’t matter if we’re 6-6 and we have to win our last four, we have to do it. “If we have to win the last seven, we’ll try to do it. That’s just kind of what we are and we’ve been that for a while.” So Indianapolis (10-6) hosts the New York Jets (11-5) in a rematch of last January’s AFC championship game on Saturday night. Before that, the Saints (12-4) are at the NFC West winner, Seattle (7-9) for a 1:30 p.m. game. On Sunday, NFC East champion Philadelphia (10-6) hosts Green Bay (10-6) after AFC West winner Kansas City (10-6) is at home against Baltimore (12-4). Atlanta (13-3) won the NFC South with a 31-10 rout of Carolina. The Falcons get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and a bye next week. They open their postseason the weekend of Jan. 15-16 in the Georgia Dome. “It’s very important,” top receiver Roddy White said. “We rarely lose in this building. We find a way to win here.” Indeed, the Falcons are 20-2 at home with quarterback Matt Ryan as a starter. The Steelers (12-4) took the AFC North with a 41-9 romp at Cleveland (5-11). They edged Baltimore in the division, making the Ravens a wild card. Pittsburgh is the No. 2 seed behind New England in the AFC and will have a bye next weekend. “We love to win the division,” Ben Roethlisberger said. “This is a hard division. We hope this is just the beginning.” New England already owned the top seed in the AFC and beat Miami 38-7 to finish 14-2, the league’s best record. The Patriots won their last eight games. Turn

Back to the playoffs Hawks’ defense stops Rams; Seattle wins West By Tim Booth

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Laugh all you want, the 7-9 Seattle Seahawks are going to the playoffs as champions of the NFC West. The Seahawks are the first sub-.500 division champs, taking the division with a 16-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday night. Their reward: a home game on Saturday with the defending Super Bowl champion Saints. New Orleans beat the Seahawks 34-19 in Week 11. Making his second career start, backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst threw a 4-yard TD pass on Seattle’s first possession, and Olindo Mare kicked three second-half field goals. It makes for great jokes from critics, and the situation in the NFC West this season has reignited the debate whether division champs should automatically be granted home playoff games. The New York Giants and Tampa Bay have better records at 10-6, but it’s Seattle that’s playoff bound. “We didn’t get here the way we all dreamed of getting here, but we got here,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “When it came down to it, the guys played a great football game tonight.” The Seahawks aren’t apologizing. In his first season as their coach, Carroll was fist-pumping

and clapping his way up and down the Seattle sideline in the closing minutes as the Seahawks celebrated their first division title since capping a four-year run of dominance of the division in 2007. St. Louis (7-9) was kept out of the end zone for the second time this season and rookie Sam Bradford couldn’t complete the Rams’ turnaround from winning just one game a year ago.

Costly interception Bradford finished 19-of-36 for 155 yards, and threw a costly interception midway through the fourth quarter. Now the question for Seattle is who will be the quarterback for its first home playoff game since a January 2008 win over Washington. Starter Matt Hasselbeck was active for Sunday night and went through pregame warmups, but Carroll held to his word the Seahawks were preparing for Whitehurst to be their guy after Hasselbeck injured his hip last week at Tampa Bay. Whitehurst didn’t fail in the Seattle’s Mike Williams, left, jumps for joy with second start of his career. Turn

Amojo, who was injured nearly all of last year to earn a medical redshirt, made four 3-pointers, even though she is not yet comfortable being asked to carry the scoring load, Daugherty said. “She’s a graceful, talented kid with a nice stroke,” Daugherty said. “Her teammates are really counting on her to take those open looks.” Neither team shot well early, and Campbell had a basket and six free throws to put UCLA ahead 10-7. Consecutive 3-pointers by Amojo allowed Washington State to tie the score at 14. But Morris replied with two straight baskets to give the Bruins an 18-14 lead they did not relinquish.

The Bruins shot 50 percent in the first, while Cougars shot just 32 percent and committed 16 turnovers. The Bruins went on a 15-2 run to open the second half, for a 47-25 lead.

Quilcene’s Tawyna Turley, right, dribbles past Crescent’s Teya Williams, left, as Turley’s teammate, Sarah Barchus, behind, backs up the play in the second quarter in a nonleague girls basketball game Thursday in Joyce. The Rangers defeated the Loggers 50-33. Quilcene led 21-0 after one quarter and 28-9 at halftime. Amy Kaiser led the Rangers with 15 points while Barchus added 14. Sarah Moore had a game-high 21 points for Crescent.

He finished 22-of-36 for 192 yards and his lone touchdown, a 4-yard toss to Mike Williams in the first quarter. Mare connected from 31, 38 and 34 yards in the second half and Seattle spent the final minute with Carroll screaming into the air and players slapping hands with fans in the end zone. “I’m so proud of him. This was a big deal, big stage for him,” Carroll said about Whitehurst. “So proud of Matt for trying to get back tonight. It was great we didn’t have to play him.

Pepperdine pulls away from Seattle men’s team The Associated Press

MALIBU, Calif. — Mychel Thompson and Lorne Jackson each posted their first double-double and Pepperdine pulled away late to defeat Seattle 84-64 Sunday. Thompson had 23 points

and 10 rebounds while Jackson finished with career highs of 23 points and 10 assists for the Waves (6-11), who ended a three-game losing streak. Sterling Carter made seven 3-pointers and scored a career-high 28 points for

the Redhawks (5-11). Aaron Broussard added 15 points. Leading 68-61 with 4½ minutes to go, Pepperdine put the game away with a 10-0 run. The Waves never trailed in the first half and went up

by as many as 12 before taking a 41-40 lead at the break. Seattle took its only lead, 45-43, on a 3 by Carter early in the second half. A Jackson layup with 18:22 left put Pepperdine up 47-45.

Brett Favre says it’s time for him to call it a career. Favre said he was finished after sitting out Minnesota’s season-ending loss to Detroit with a concussion. He missed three of his final four games because of injury after starting an NFL record 297 straight games. “It’s been a wonderful experience for me,” Favre said after watching the Vikings lose 20-13 to finish in last place in the NFC North. “This year did not work out the way we would have hoped, but that’s football. I don’t regret coming back. I enjoyed my experience here.” Favre says it was the wise choice not to play against the Lions. He didn’t pass a concussion test until late in the week and didn’t want to risk long-term damage by playing. He also acknowledged some will doubt that he is truly done after he came back from two retirements earlier in his career. Favre says he has no regrets about returning for a 20th season, even though he finished with the lowest quarterback rating of his career (69.9); threw 19 interceptions; and was fined $50,000 for failing to cooperate with an NFL investigation into allegations of tawdry interactions with a game-day hostess when

both worked for the New York Jets in 2008. The 41-year-old quarterback was asked if it was easier for him to walk away after such a difficult season. The Vikings (6-10) finished last in the division for the first time since 1990, coach Brad Childress was fired midseason and the Metrodome’s roof collapsed in December, forcing the Vikings to play “home games” in Detroit and at the University of Minnesota’s outdoor stadium. Favre jogged off of Ford Field after the final whistle blew, giving a wave to the fans and the Lions’ sideline before heading up the tunnel to the locker room. “I don’t know for me if it’s ever easy,” Favre said. “I’m sure throughout this year, the comment has been made that, ’We’ll wait and see in August or September’ and that’s fine. “It’s time. I’m OK with it. In my opinion, it’s never easy for any player. People, they’ll say ’wait and see,’ but that’s OK.” There were no tears this time around, as there were when he previously announced retirements with the Green Bay Packers in 2008 and the New York Jets in 2009. He declined to respond to a question asking for his reaction about being fined, and thanked the Vikings, Packers, the NFL and the fans for their support throughout his career.

Oregon Ducks beat Auburn to Phoenix The Associated Press

PHOENIX— Lining a red carpet next to a mariachi band, a group of fans broke into a cheer as the door to Oregon’s plane swung open. Sensing a chance to get a bit of the spotlight for himself, an airport worker in an orange vest raised his arms in mock triumph and mouthed sarcastic thank yous as he made his way down the temporary staircase. The real stars came next. Following the brief moment of levity, Oregon’s players filed off the plane, arriving in the desert on Sunday with a serious task ahead: facing top-ranked Auburn and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton on Jan. 10 for the program’s first national championship. The second-ranked

Ducks landed about 45 minutes early and were greeted by a decent-size crowd of Oregon fans and bowl personnel, the cheers and waving pompoms a nice welcome for what figures to be a difficult eight days of preparation and trying to avoid distractions. “We’re excited to be here,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said inside a white tent next to Sky Harbor Airport’s executive terminal. “The amount of support we get everywhere, it’s an exciting time to be a Duck. And we’re going to meet them all on the 10th.” The Ducks had few problems with the relatively short flight from Oregon, other than defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti needing to get wanded because of his titanium hips. Now comes the biggest week in the program’s 115year history.

Falcons cruise, earn top seed The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons put a decisive stamp on the NFC South title and homefield advantage in the playoffs by beating Carolina 31-10 on Sunday in John Fox’s last game as Panthers coach. The Falcons (13-3) earned their first division title since 2004, home-field edge throughout the NFC playoffs and a bye next weekend. The time off for Ryan and other starters came early, as backups took over in the fourth quarter. Carolina (2-14) had a weak finish to an awful season under Fox as the league’s worst offense was held without a touchdown until the final minute. The Panthers on Friday announced Fox and his staff will not return in 2011. Ryan passed for 236 yards with touchdowns to Tony Gonzalez and Roddy White, and Eric Weems scored on a 55-yard punt return.

Steelers 41, Browns 9 CLEVELAND — Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes and Pittsburgh won the AFC North to secure a firstround playoff bye. The game could be the final one for Browns coach Eric Mangini. Roethlisberger, who got to rest most of the second half, threw a 56-yard TD to Mike Wallace on his first pass. The Steelers (11-5) built a 31-3 halftime lead and rocked the rival Browns (5-11), who didn’t put up much of a fight in their finale. In winning its third division title in four years, Pittsburgh guaranteed itself at least one postseason home game. Mangini’s record fell to 10-22 in two seasons. Today, he’s scheduled to meet with team president Mike Holmgren.

Ravens 13, Bengals 7 BALTIMORE — Ed Reed had two interceptions and Ray Lewis recovered two fumbles, part of an opportunistic defense that carried Baltimore. Despite the victory, the Ravens (12-4) failed to get the help necessary to win the AFC North. Baltimore needed Pittsburgh to lose to Cleveland, but the Steelers won easily to deny the Ravens a firstround bye. Baltimore will enter the playoffs with a four-game winning streak. Ray Rice scored on a 7-yard run and Billy Cundiff kicked two field goals for the Ravens, who forced five turnovers to offset the 395 yards in offense amassed by the Bengals (4-12). The Ravens’ victory Sunday was not assured until Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer threw an incompletion on a fourth-down play from the Baltimore 2 with 10 seconds left. Now the Ravens will travel to Kansas City to play the Chiefs next weekend.

Raiders 31, Chiefs 10 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Michael Bush rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown and short-handed Oakland beat playoff-bound Kansas City to gain a unique NFL distinction. The Raiders (8-8) finished 6-0 in the AFC West, the first team since the 1970 merger to go unbeaten in the division and not make the playoffs. The Chiefs (10-6) were 2-4 in the division, but will host a playoff game against Baltimore next weekend as AFC West champions. Two of Oakland’s best players, running back Darren McFadden and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Richard Seymour, were inactive because of injuries.

The Associated Press

Atlanta running back Michael Turner (33) runs for a touchdown in the third quarter against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Atlanta. The Falcons (13-3) have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

NFL Sunday touchdowns and Tampa Bay kept its playoff hopes alive until Green Bay won later in the day. Tampa Bay (10-6) entered the game needing a victory and losses by both the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. But the Packers didn’t cooperate by beating Chicago to gain the NFC’s No. 6 seed. Reggie Bush had 70 yards rushing and 55 yards receiving for the Saints (115), who were locked into the fifth playoff seed after Atlanta’s win over Carolina. The Saints will travel to the Seattle-St. Louis winner next weekend in the first round of the playoffs.

Lions 20, Vikings 13 DETROIT — Brett Favre stood in street clothes on the sideline in what likely was the final game of his 20-season career, watching the Lions (6-10) beat his Vikings for their fourth straight victory. The Vikings (6-10) closed out a lost season by putting the three-time MVP quarterback on the inactive because of a concussion, with rookie Joe Webb making his second start. After the game, Favre said it was time for him to call it a career. The Lions tripled last season’s win total and closed with their best finish since 1995. Shaun Hill threw for 258 yards and a touchdown for the Lions, who took a 13-0 lead and sealed the win with Maurice Morris’ 4-yard TD run with 9:29 left.

Patriots 38, Dolphins 7 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to cap a record-setting season as New England won its eighth straight. The game meant nothing in the standings. Still, Brady played into the third quarter and finished with 36 touchdowns passing and four interceptions. He extended his NFL records to 335 straight passes without an interception and 28 consecutive regular-season wins as a starter at home. The Patriots (14-2) already had homefield advantage for as long as they remain in the AFC playoffs and have a firstround bye. The Dolphins (7-9) lost for the fourth time in five games, jeopardizing the job of coach Tony Sparano.

relief of Mark Sanchez, Joe McKnight ran for a careerhigh 158 yards and the Jets’ defense dominated. Having already clinched a postseason spot, New York (11-5) sat a handful of stars, including LaDainian Tomlinson and Darrelle Revis, but still earned the fourth 11-win season in franchise history — and first since the 1998 team went to the AFC championship game. The Jets enter the playoffs as a No. 6 seed.

Giants 17, Redskins 14 LANDOVER, Md. — The New York Giants got the win. They didn’t get the help. Now they’re a 10-win team not in the playoffs, an outcome that seemed improbable just two weeks ago. The Giants forced four turnovers Sunday, a result that was rendered moot for postseason purposes when Green Bay beat Chicago 10-3 to claim the remaining wild card berth in the NFC. New York finished 10-6, making the Giants and Tampa Bay the first NFC teams since 1991 to miss the playoffs despite doubledigit victories. The Giants have only themselves to blame: They blew a 31-10 fourth-quarter lead in a loss to NFC East leader Philadelphia on Dec. 19, then got blown out 45-17 by the Packers last week, costing them the tiebreakers against two teams also in the hunt. Last year, the Giants started 5-0 and lost eight of 11 down the stretch. The back-to-back lateseason fades have raised questions about coach Tom Coughlin’s job security just three years after he led to the team to the Super Bowl title. But his players showed up against the Redskins (6-10), never trailing in a game that was played at the same time as ChicagoGreen Bay.

Colts 23, Titans 20

INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning and Adam Vinatieri have the Indianapolis Colts back in the playoffs. The four-time league MVP broke two NFL records Sunday and set up the always-clutch Vinatieri for a 43-yard field goal as time expired to give the Colts a 23-20 victory over Tennessee and their seventh AFC South title in eight years. It’s the ninth straight season Indy has reached the postseason, tying the NFL mark Dallas set from 1975-83. And, as it turned out, the Colts (10-6) didn’t even need to win to make the playoffs — thanks to the Jaguars’ loss in Houston. But, along with Kansas Buccaneers 23, Jets 38, Bills 7 City’s loss to Oakland, it did Saints 13 EAST RUTHERFORD, give Indy the No. 3 seed in NEW ORLEANS — Josh N.J. — Mark Brunell threw the AFC and set up a SaturFreeman passed for two two touchdown passes in day night showdown with

Chargers 33, Broncos 28 DENVER — Ryan Mathews and Nate Kaeding led the San Diego Chargers to the win at Denver on Sunday, handing the Broncos their franchiserecord 12th loss. The Broncos (4-12) had never lost a dozen games in any of their 51 seasons, but by dipping to new depths, they managed to secure the No. 2 overall draft pick as they embark on a major makeover following the Josh McDaniels misadventure that included a bevy of personnel mistakes and a videotaping scandal. Philip Rivers beat the Broncos for the eighth time in 10 tries, but San Diego (9-7) also missed the playoffs, ceding the AFC West title it had won four straight seasons to the upstart Kansas City Chiefs. Mathews, San Diego’s highly touted rookie who dealt with injuries and inconsistency throughout the season, gained 120 yards on 26 carries in his first 100-yard performance and scored on runs of 27, 12 and 31 yards. Kaeding kicked four field goals before his miss from 53 yards in the fourth quarter ended his 16 for 16 streak in Denver. The Broncos face a critical offseason beginning with the return of Hall of Famer John Elway, who is expected to rejoin the franchise by midweek as its chief football executive, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The AP. Denver has just one playoff win since Elway retired a dozen years ago after winning two straight Super Bowl trophies, and the Broncos haven’t been to the playoffs in five years. Elway’s first order of business will be to find a new field leader and interim coach Eric Studesville, who was promoted from running backs coach when McDaniels was fired Dec. 6, has the first interview for the fulltime gig. He went one-for-three in his audition but provided the tarnished team with a fresh face and voice during the final month of the team’s worst season in four decades. Broncos star cornerback Champ Bailey missed what could be his farewell game with a bruised right heel. San Diego scored on five possessions to take a 26-7 lead. Mathews’ season-long 27-yard run tied it and Kaeding was good from 42, 45 and 47 yards for a 16-7 halftime lead. After falling behind 33-16 midway through the fourth quarter, the Broncos nearly pulled off a big comeback for the second straight week.

Cowboys 14, Eagles 13 PHILADELPHIA — Jason Garrett completed his audition and now Jerry Jones has to decide if he’s the man to lead the Dallas Cowboys. Stephen McGee threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten with 55 seconds left to lift the Cowboys to the victory over the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Will it be enough for Jones to remove the interim label and make Garrett the full-time head coach? “I would absolutely love to be this team’s coach,” Garrett said. Michael Vick and nearly every starter didn’t play in a game that had no effect on Philadelphia’s playoff positioning. The Eagles (10-6) are locked into the No. 3 seed and will host Green Bay in a wild-card game next Sunday. The Cowboys (6-10) were playing for jobs next year. The Eagles were playing to stay healthy for next week. Still, Dallas struggled against a bunch of backups and seldom-used reserves — until the final drive. McGee, making his first career start for an injured Jon Kitna, led the Cowboys on a 54-yard scoring drive and helped them end a dismal season on a positive note. Garrett went 5-3 after replacing Wade Phillips at midseason. The Cowboys have come a long way since a horrific 1-7 start to a season that began with them having aspirations of becoming the first team to play in a Super Bowl in its home city. Jones said after the game he has yet to decide if Garrett will get the job. The team owner added he hasn’t interviewed any candidates. Jones wants to interview wide receivers coach Ray Sherman, which would satisfy the league’s rule about interviewing minority candidates. Jones also would consider speaking to candidates outside the organization. He said he won’t require an interview with Garrett. “I’m really interested in following the spirit of the NFL rules and that’s what this is all about,” Jones said. “I just want to move on so that we can have the coaching decisions out of the way and move on and do what we need to do.”

49ers 38, Cardinals 7 SAN FRANCISCO — In his likely last hurrah for San Francisco, Alex Smith made his case for a starting job elsewhere. Smith threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis in what likely was the quarterback’s final game with the 49ers, and

San Francisco beat Arizona in a matchup for last place in the awful NFC West. Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft pick who becomes a free agent, passed for 276 yards and two TDs overall and the Niners (6-10) made interim coach Jim Tomsula a winner in what will probably be his only game coaching the team. Tomsula was promoted from his defensive line duties after Mike Singletary was fired following a loss last week. Larry Fitzgerald had a 10-yard TD reception from John Skelton among his 11 catches for Arizona (5-11), which failed to win back-toback games all year. Brian Westbrook had a pair of 6-yard TD runs in the third quarter for San Francisco. The game affected both teams’ top-10 picks in April’s draft — exact positioning still to be determined.

Texans 34, Jaguars 17 HOUSTON — Arian Foster won the NFL rushing title and ruined Jacksonville’s playoff hopes. Foster ran for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans’ victory. Jacksonville (8-8) needed a victory and a Colts loss to Tennessee to make playoffs, but couldn’t overcome the absence of its top two offensive players. Trent Edwards started at quarterback for David Garrard, who underwent finger surgery Thursday, and Rashad Jennings rushed for 108 yards in place of Pro Bowl running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who sat out with a right knee injury that will require surgery this week. Indianapolis wound up winning minutes after the Jaguars’ game ended. Matt Schaub completed 18 of 22 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown. He’s thrown for 9,170 yards over the past two seasons, becoming the sixth quarterback to reach 9,000 yards passing in a two-year span. But the finale belonged to Foster, an undrafted free agent who spent most of last season on Houston’s practice squad. He burst onto the scene when he ran for 231 yards in the opener against Indianapolis and had eight 100-yard games this season. Foster finished with 1,616 yards rushing, the highest single-season total for an undrafted player. He also had 604 yards receiving to become the sixth player in league history to reach 1,500 yards rushing and 600 yards receiving in the same year. The Texans (6-10) won for only the second time in their last 10 games amid speculation that coach Gary Kubiak would keep his job. Kubiak shot down a report that a decision had already been made.

Teacher Jamie Valadez speaks in her Port Angeles High School classroom about paddling on a Native canoe journey.

Port Angeles’ Native curriculum helps to inspire state’s online library By Donna Gordon Blankinship

The Associated Press

PORT ANGELES — You can almost hear the splash of paddles hitting the water, an eagle call overhead and the crash of whales breaching as Jamie Valadez tells her high school students about paddling through the inland waters of the Puget Sound, reliving the tribal journeys of ages past. Valadez passes around handmade buttons, scarves and other commemorative gifts, and shares photos of canoes gliding through the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She answers questions and talks in vivid detail about her experiences on the water, like the time a seal attacked a canoe. Valadez is a member of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, which has lived along the Strait of Juan de Fuca for centuries. Canoeing was central to the culture of the Klallam, who were expert canoe makers and relied on the boats for travel and fishing. Valadez conveyed this to her students not by reciting facts but

“I look forward to coming to this class every day.”

by bringing history to life. And she said nearly the same experience can take place in any school in the U.S., using the ready-made Native American curricula available on the Web for interested teachers. While a growing number of states are encouraging schools to weave Native American history and culture into their curriculum, Washington is one of a handful that requires it. Its state education office has created an extensive online library of information about local and regional tribes to help make that happen. Similar resources have been created by other states, including Montana, Wisconsin, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The efforts are designed to recognize Native American history as an important element of state and local history, and to offer teachers a way to localize

and enliven their American history classes. Valadez’s students — native and nonnative — said the Native curriculum makes their social studies class more interesting and relevant, and they especially enjoy learning about the history of their own community. “I look forward to coming to this class every day,” said Takara Andrus, 17. “People say this is a boring old town, but it has a rich history.” Denny Hurtado, director of the Washington state Office of Indian Education, said the state’s new curriculum goes beyond Pocahantas and Gen. George A. Custer to share a deeper Native American story with students, and to help restore Native pride. About 2.6 percent of Washington’s students identify themselves as American Indian or Pacific Islander. Hurtado said the curriculum also helps to combat negative stereotypes and to create coursework that is culturally relevant and appeals to Indian students, including many who lag behind their peers in academic achievement.

Port Angeles High School student Krista Johnson watches from the rear of the classroom. The Washington tribal education website offers lesson plans for various age groups and gives teachers the option of spending a few hours or several months on the topic. It also offers suggestions to

engage local tribes in their studies. Washington is not the first state to create a Native American curriculum.

Woman in love with neighbor

Tundra

DEAR ABBY: My neighbor “Marlon” and I have been “friends with benefits” for almost two years. We hang out every day and our kids are friends. We talk about everything. Really, we are best friends. We have attempted to hide our affair from our children (8 years old and younger) and from our exes. Many of our friends know, but it is never discussed. My problem is, Marlon recently mentioned that he wants to find a “good woman.” It upset me because I’m in love with him. At the same time, he makes no effort to meet anyone. He is always with me — when you’d think he’d be out trying to meet women. Although we agreed to be “FWBs,” I don’t want to be Marlon’s security blanket. How do I let him know I want more? Loves My Neighbor

For Better or For Worse

Pickles

Dear Loves Your Neighbor: Revisit the subject with Marlon and ask him how many “good women” he thinks he can handle because he already HAS one. It couldn’t hurt to mention that you are in love with him and have taken your relationship seriously. If one woman isn’t enough for him, you will have to start looking for a good man — one who won’t monopolize your time and take you for granted. Please understand that if Marlon is serious about looking elsewhere for someone to settle down with, you cannot invest any more time or emotion in him.

Frank & Ernest

Dear Abby: I am in my 40s and voluntarily quit my job several months ago. My husband and I can afford it, and my job was making me miserable. My problem is the reaction I get when I tell people. I hear, “Oh, how could you quit your job in this economy?” or, “Aren’t you bored?” I volunteer as well as participate in social activities I didn’t have time for when I was working. I feel my decision is no one’s business, but what do you suggest I say to those who give me negative reactions? Tired of the Grief in California

Garfield

Dear Tired of the Grief: Perhaps you should resist the urge to announce that you quit your job because it made you miserable. Few

Momma

dear abby people can afford to do that these Van Buren days, much as they might like to. When you are asked if you are employed, say that you are not. Do not be defensive. If you are questioned further, explain that you do not have a job outside the home, but that you do volunteer work for causes that interest you. If that creates a negative reaction, let it be the other person’s problem and not yours.

Abigail

Dear Abby: I became a grandmother a year ago. My son told me I have to join a social networking site if I want information about, or to see pictures of, my grandson. He claims I can find out all I need to know on his profile page. Abby, I’m not asking for pictures to be sent in the mail, nor am I requesting constant calls about what is taking place. I’m not completely computer illiterate, but I do have an aversion to being grouped with everyone else. I am his mother, but I don’t feel as though he thinks of me as someone special. Am I totally out of touch with today’s technology? Old-Fashioned Grandma in Montana Dear Old-Fashioned: You’re not out of touch with today’s technology, but you are out of touch with the place that it holds in the lives of people of your son’s generation — as well as many of your own. If you feel in some way disrespected by your son, work it out with him. But please do not allow this to be turned into a power struggle because you will only alienate yourself from him.

The Last Word in Astrology By Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Size up your situation and decide if you need to incorporate any damage control. Ease into the new year carefully. If you can maintain structure and stay out of trouble, good will follow. 2 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Touch base with the people you want to collaborate with this year. Love is on the rise and, whether you are in a relationship or not, connect with the one you love or meet someone special. A change in status is apparent. 5 stars

Rose is Rose

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Set up your budget for the new year. It’s important to know where you stand before you consider spending money. Don’t hesitate to sign up for a course that will help you bring in an additional paycheck. It’s time for change. 3 stars

Elderberries

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone is probably trying to tell you something that could make or break the connection you have with one another. Reach out with love, compassion and understanding. Start the year off on the right foot. 3 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Dennis the Menace

Doonesbury

Prepare to alter your course if it will bring you greater joy, acceptance or recognition. Learn from your past mistakes and help others you see following a path that led you to distraction. This is a good day to reunite with the people you want to keep in your life for another year. 3 stars VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The festivities may be over but, for you, the aftermath will linger on. You have lots to think about and plenty of decisions to make regarding your future. Change is beckoning, so start doing whatever is required to get what you want. 5 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid any problems at home. Now is not the time to force issues or make changes. You are far better off waiting to see what everyone around you does before you make a decision. Discipline will be required. 3 stars CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be ready to start something new or to take an old idea and present it strategically. Good things are heading your way but you will have to stay on top of every detail in order to benefit the most. Don’t take anyone’s word for granted. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s time to reevaluate your personal and professional position. If change is required, be ready to do whatever is necessary. Being passionate and assertive will lead to the progress you’ve been trying to acquire. 2 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the things you enjoy doing and do well. Incorporate what you want to pursue into your game plan and you can reinvent what you have to offer in a prosperous way. Don’t let someone who is jealous or feels threatened make you feel insecure. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Interacting with friends, colleagues or people who can offer you a different perspective on things will enlighten you and spark an idea. Revisit, restructure and present an old idea or plan that has the potential to be prosperous. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A move or bringing new people into your life personally or professionally will inspire you. Figure out what kind of change you need to make to recharge your batteries and head in the right direction. 4 stars

History: Lesson plans offered for various ages Continued from C1 Since 1999, the Montana Legislature has required all public schools to include instruction on the history and culture of the state’s Native tribes, strengthening a 1972 provision in the Montana Constitution. In 2005, the results of a general school funding lawsuit put dollars behind the mandate, along with other education reforms. Mike Jetty, a member of the Spirit Lake Dakota Nation, runs the Montana Indian education program. He said he has traveled across the West and fielded phone calls from as far away as the United Nations asking to copy or borrow the program’s ideas. He spends a lot of time working with teachers to figure out ways to infuse tribal knowledge and history into their classrooms. “We’re taking a longrange approach,” Jetty said. “We know it took a long time for the curriculum to get this way and it’s going to take a long way to change it.” Montana works toward its goal of seeing more native perspectives and voices in public school classrooms by providing the materials to make it happen, such as videos of elders talking about their experiences in boarding school. Hurtado, Washington’s Indian Education director, said the committee creating his state’s curriculum did whatever it could to make it easy for teachers to use, and flexibility was key — from a 45-minute discussion to a semester-long class. “We took out all the excuses,” he said.

Teacher Jamie Valadez points out photos of Lower Elwha Klallam tribal elders in her Port Angeles High School classroom. Hurtado wants to encourage teachers to work closely with local tribes and Indian education programs and invite tribal members to speak to their students. “It’s about developing relationships first,” Hurtado said. Valadez, who has been piloting the new Washington curriculum in her history classroom for several years, said her students have grown to appreciate
